Pros

Free snacks, coffee, soda. Work in downtown Indianapolis. Amazing co-workers. Pretty laid back atmosphere. Many different opportunities and projects going on. If you wanted, you could possibly work on a new project every six months to a year (after you've been there long enough and built up relationships with other people/teams). Even though we are way understaffed, they actually have realistic expectations and don't overwork and burn out their employees (which is amazing).

Cons

Things definitely changing after purchase by SalesForce.com. Becoming much more bureaucratic and annoying. Much less mutual respect and trust and much more "top-down" management approach. Before SF purchase, you were a cog in the wheel in the hands of a loving watchmaker. After SF purchase, you are a cog in the wheel on the wrist of an aggrandizing marketing "visionary". Way understaffed. Morale is at an all-time low after purchase.

Pros

Dreamforce. Get a chance to meet customers and get feedback on how you are doing and what they seek. Managers are very professional and take care of their direct reports. Lot of opportunities

Cons

Not much but to list one I would say work is very process oriented
